Under the Falling Moon
by: Bonez
Somehow, someway Illana fell asleep. She curled up with her daughter, and somewhere in the middle of her thoughts, she just drifted away. Lana hated dreaming---partly because she never dreamt of pleasant things.
So again she ended up in her nightmare world---a dark place full of dread. Her surroundings was that of a demonic wonderland, and she was always Alice. The floor was wavey checkerboards, and deformed clocks, paintings, desks and such lined the room she was in.
Then she heard a child crying. Walking towards the sound, she felt like crying herself. Shrugging it off, she always found the kid---a little girl dressed up in a black funeral dress bent over the side of the world crying her eyes out.
The little girl teetered over the side---because after the checkerboard she was on, there was nothing but a black abyss. Lana went to comfort her, but before she could even touch the child she went flying off the edge, still crying.
Then she whipped around to see a new room. This place was a golden bedroom---like something back in Ancient Eygpt, except the bed was 4- post golden canopy with blood red sheets and pillows. A woman lied on it, and she wore golden cloths around her body and a tiara around her forehead.
Lana stared at this grand woman and realized she was chained to the bed---her wrists in shackles. The lady slowly opened her honey eyes as blood began to trickle from every pore on her body. Lana closed her eyes, but she still saw the blood. It flowed freely in big drops, still warm and fresh. Then she began to laugh.
Illana opened her eyes quickly to see Jenny standing infront of her. "Wake up mommy! You need ta stop that cryin'!" Wiping a slow rolling tear from the corner of her right eye, she smiled. "Oh. Thank you sweetie......"
"Your welcome mommy. Oh! I saw a little boy two houses down! Mommy! Can I....can I go play with him!?!" Lana heard a rustling noise from the kitchen and stared, confused. Jenny laughed playfully. "Don't worry! I asked....umm...the neighbor man if he'd like ta come over and eat some food. Mommy, he's skinny!"
Lana shook her head and smiled. "Ok hon, go have fun with the kid." Jenny squeeled with joy and ran out of the room. Sighing, she grabed her head in pain. It still hurt of the womans dry laugh.
Slowly standing up, she fixed her hair just a bit and sighed. "Well........this should be interesting."
